Rineke Dijkstra is famous for her rather awkward portraits ranging from nursing mothers to extreme close ups. For this purpose, I was looking specifically at her beach portraits. Her goal is to "coax out the emotional subtleties and raw energy that are special to children, adolescents and young adults, with grave, revelatory and sometimes ecstatic results," (nytimes.com). I also, personally, gain a very renaissance feel from these pictures.
